Congratulations to Simon Ettinghausen who was the recipient of the 2003 Dominic Fox Award. This is awarded to the person who has made a significant contribution to the safety of young drivers and riders.

Due to commitments overseas as a TA reservist, the Award was accepted on his behalf by his deputy Christine Eaton.

Although IRSO nominated Simon for the Award, it was heavily supported by LARSOA, LAPC and BRAG. Simon is a very respected member of the road safety profession. His passion for improving the lives of many people has ensured that he has, and continues to play a major role both at a local level in Bexley, and at a national level in various roles. Well done Simon!
